Security Check System Using Image Mark Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security check systems for objects, such as luggage at airports, rely on physical tags that can be lost or removed, leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and potential misses in identifying dangerous items, and require significant manual labor for tag attachment and verification.
Innovation Solution
A security check system that uses image recognition technology to identify objects of interest by capturing and analyzing images of both the object and the person carrying it, eliminating the need for physical tags and reducing labor costs by automating the identification process through image mark detection and comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If physical tags are used to identify objects requiring manual check, then objects can be identified at exit detection area, but tags may be lost or removed during transferring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical tag system with an optical/image-based identification system. Image marks are captured and stored in a database, then compared at the exit detection area to identify objects requiring manual check. This eliminates the physical tag that can be lost or removed, substituting it with a digital image recognition system that maintains identification reliability throughout the object's transfer path.
2Ease of operation
If physical tags are manually attached to objects, then identification can be performed, but large work force and material resources are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service identification by automatically capturing image marks of objects during the security check process and storing them in a database. At the exit detection area, the system automatically retrieves and compares image marks to identify objects requiring manual check, eliminating the need for manual tag attachment by operators and significantly improving check efficiency.
3Reliability
If manual tag attachment is performed, then tags can be attached to objects, but it takes a long time for passengers to pick up their objects
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by capturing and storing image marks of objects during the initial security check process, before objects are transferred to the exit detection area. This pre-processing of identification data eliminates the need for time-consuming manual tag attachment operations later, allowing passengers to quickly retrieve their objects while maintaining reliable identification capability.
4Loss of substance
If image recognition is used to identify objects, then physical tags are eliminated and costs are reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image recognition system serves multiple functions: it captures object images during security check, stores them in a database, retrieves them at exit detection, compares images to identify objects requiring manual check, and eliminates the need for physical tags entirely. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a unified solution, managing complexity while achieving cost reduction.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a security check system and method. The present disclosure provides a security check system for identifying objects of interest from multiple objects, comprising: an object-of-interest determining device for determining whether an object is an object of interest; an image mark applying device for acquiring images related to selected objects among the multiple objects and recording image marks of the selected objects; and a mark detecting device for detecting the image marks, wherein the security check system is configured to identify whether the object is the object of interest based on the detection of the mark detecting device and provides a warning accordingly.
